What it is
RNA-seq (gene expression)Gene activity measured by sequencing. The summary does not mention single-cell work, so this is most likely bulk: one average per sample, the usual starting point for comparing groups.

Summary (written by the submitters)
Immunotherapy based on the PD-1/PD-L1 axis blockade has no benefit for patients diagnosed with colon cancer liver metastasis (CCLM) for the MSS/pMMR subtype, which is known as an immune-desert cancer featuring poor immunogenicity and insufficient CD8+ T cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment. Thus, turning the tumor microenvironment immunologically hot is critical for activating a potent immunotherapy through immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in this unique subtype accounting for 85% cases of total colon cancer.

Here, a multifunctional nanodrug (NP-D@MP) carrying a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)1/2/5/9 inhibitor and PD-L1 antibody to boost the ICB-based immunotherapy against MSS/pMMR CCLM via reversing the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. To enhance the MSS/pMMR CCLM-targeting efficacy, we modified the nanodrug with PD-L1 knockout cell membrane of this colon cancer subtype. The nanodrug boosted the immunogenicity of tumor microenvironment, thus improving response rate of PD-L1 antibody treatment. First, CDK inhibitor (CDKi) delivered by nanodrug down-regulates phosphorylated retinoblastoma and phosphorylated RNA polymerase II and meanwhile arrests the G2/M cell cycle in CCLM to promote immunogenic signal release, stimulate dendritic cell maturation, and enhance CD8+ T cell infiltration. Moreover, CDKi suppresses the secretion of immunosuppressive cytokines in tumor-associated myeloid cells (TAMCs) sensitizing ICB therapy in CCLM of murine CT26 cell. Notably, the great efficacy to activate immune responses is demonstrated in the patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model and the patient-derived organoid (PDO) model as well, revealing a clinical application potential. Overall, our study represents a promising therapeutic approach for targeting liver metastasis, remolding the TIME, and enhancing the response of MSS/pMMR CCLM to boost ICB immunotherapy.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE238087_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: For RNA-seq the counts are usually a table among the supplementary files (look for 'counts', 'expression', 'FPKM' or 'TPM' in the file name). The series matrix of a sequencing study is sometimes nearly empty.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA997945 and SRA study SRP451045. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
12 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groups

Any grouping that defines a comparison lives in the sample characteristics, which GEO records separately from the titles.

How we read this: Read from 12 sample titles: 12 distinct titles with little repetition. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
